Carlin is an Alpha Wolf Fighter, one of only three
in the top spots at the Souterrain - an underground fighting club, run by the
Elite to punish shifters who have gone outside of the laws. He's happy enough,
only has to fight exhibition matches, has his own apartment space, food and sex
on tap - yep, life it good. So when Martin offers him the chance to fight for
his freedom, Carlin turns it down. It's no fun being a lone wolf and Carlin is
quite happy where he is.

Then Lucas catches his eye. A handsome man, a
stunning fighter, moving up through the ranks fast. Lucas might not have the killer attitude that
most men at the Souterrain have, but he's got the moves. Carlin has no problems insisting the man is
bought to his apartment - sex is never a bad idea. But when he catches Lucas's scent and realizes
the man is his fated mate, suddenly getting him to bed is the least of his
problems. Lucas wants to be free, and
for the first time in a long time, so does Carlin.

Unfortunately there is more to Lucas than meets the
eye. Martin certainly has no intention
of letting them go, and if he has to have Carlin killed to keep Lucas at the
Souterrain, then the man has no problems with that either. Suddenly the deal
Carlin makes with Martin goes horribly wrong, and Carlin and Lucas realize that
the price for freedom might be Carlin's life, and even then Lucas will not be
free.

Warnings: M/M sex, HEA, some violence (they are in a
fight club after all). A growly Alpha
who lets his emotions get the best of him, and a hybrid shifter with a wicked
imagination.

Excerpt:

Carlin knew he was
behaving like an idiot pacing up and down the floor of his small apartment, but
he couldn’t stop. How long did it take
for one man to have a shower for fucks sake? He’d ordered food for the both of
them. Having been a fighter for more than five years, Carlin knew that Lucas
would be hungry – hopefully for food and sex.
But if the bloody man didn’t get his skates on then Carlin would eat
alone and get straight to dessert when Lucas arrived.

About to call Brian and
find out where his errant fuck had gone, Carlin caught the sound of people
outside of his door. He threw himself on the couch and picked up a book. He didn’t want Lucas thinking he was waiting
for him or anything.

Brian came in, Lucas a
few steps behind him.

“Alpha Fighter
Carlin. This is Lucas, ranked fifth
after today.”

Carlin was
surprised. He’d heard the man had moved
swiftly up the ranks, but he didn’t realize that Lucas was so close to a shot
for an Alpha ranking. In theory, one more fight and he might have to fight Lucas in the ring. For a moment Carlin was
tempted to send the man away. He did
have some conscience, even after so many years of being a fighting
machine. He didn’t want to have to kill
someone who had been in his bed.

But then Lucas stepped
past Brian, and Carlin was caught in angry eyes. Silver eyes. Something tugged at Carlin’s brain – the eye
color had some significance, didn’t it? But then Lucas’s scent hit Carlin’s
nose and any rational thought fell straight out of his brain.

“Leave, Brian,” Carlin
said, standing up and not breaking his stare with Lucas. He knew his body
radiated the power he was famous for, and guessed he might look intimidating,
as he heard Brian whisper to Lucas as he scurried out of the door, “I told you
not to stare at an Alpha. You’re dead
meat pup.”

“Better dead than a
fuck toy,” Lucas snarled – his comment for Brian, but those silver eyes stayed
fixed on Carlin.

“I agree,” Carlin said,
his voice dropping as he got closer.
Before Lucas could react, he reached his hand around, grabbing Lucas by
the nape and pushing the man’s face into his throat. Whatever Lucas was going
to say was muffled by Carlin’s skin, although the man was kicking, punching and
doing everything he could to get free.

Carlin felt Lucas quieten, although his body still
stayed rigid in Carlin’s grasp. Lucas’s
deep inhale was the only sound in the room. Carlin knew the moment Lucas had worked
out what Carlin was trying to say.

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Lisa
Oliver, co-author of Uncaged, which is book one in the Shifter’s Uprising
series.

Hi Lisa, thank you for agreeing to this
interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current
book.

Hello and thank you for having me here. I am
an author, focusing on M/M shifter and other paranormal stories, usually in the
true mate trope (you can see a list of my books below). About six months ago my twenty-two year old
son, Thomas, approached me about a story idea of his own, and asked me if I
would work on it with him – the Shifter’s Uprising series was born.

In this first book we meet Carlin and
Lucas. Carlin is an Alpha fighter and
has been at the shifter prison, the Souterrain for years. He doesn’t mind the cage fights, actually
quite likes his life, but then he meets Lucas, his true mate. Suddenly all he
can think about is fighting for their freedom. But, Martin, who runs the Souterrain
and is leader of the Elite force, wants Lucas for his own. For that to happen
Carlin has to be dead. So as you can see, this story has a bit more action and
angst than in my other books, but believe me, it does have an HEA.

Thank you for giving me the chance to share
my new book with your readers. I hope they enjoy it.

Meet the authors:

Lisa Oliver had been writing non-fiction books for
years when visions of half dressed, buff men started invading her dreams. Unable to resist the lure of her stories,
Lisa decided to switch to fiction books, and now stories about her men clamor
to get out from under her fingertips.

When Lisa is not writing, she is usually reading
with a cup of tea always at hand. Her grown children and grandchildren
sometimes try and pry her away from the computer and have found that the best
way to do it, is to promise her chocolate.
Lisa will do anything for chocolate.

Thomas Oliver doesn’t have a lot of time for writing
itself although he can talk about his ideas for hours. A construction worker by
day, he has a wicked imagination and it was from sharing some of his ideas with
Lisa, that the idea for this series was born.

When not working, Thomas is like any other young
man. He loves to spend time with friends, his girlfriend and working on his
car. His dream is to do up a project car – something mean, with attitude and
plenty of power under the hood.
